Healthy ageing and mental health are acknowledged national priorities. This project will generate new knowledge relating to older Australians' mental health literacy and the motivators and barriers influencing their engagement in protective behaviours. The resulting communications strategy will provide tangible outcomes for the industry partners to utilise. The project will thus produce knowledge advancement and tools for practitioners, both of which will enhance public welfare and reduce long-term healthcare costs. While this project focuses on older Australians, those of all ages will benefit from a communications campaign that provides individuals with knowledge to protect and strengthen their mental health.

健康老龄化和心理健康是公认的国家优先事项。该项目将产生与澳大利亚老年人的心理健康知识以及影响他们参与保护行为的动机和障碍有关的新知识。由此产生的沟通战略将为行业合作伙伴提供切实的成果。因此，该项目将为从业人员提供知识进步和工具，这两者都将提高公共福利并降低长期医疗成本。虽然该项目的重点是澳大利亚老年人，但所有年龄段的人都将受益于一场宣传运动，为个人提供保护和加强其心理健康的知识。
